Saving Shelter Pets (SSP) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) animal welfare organization. We facilitate rescues from high-ill shelters, promote spay & neuter programs, and work to give shelter pets the chance at life they truly deserve.

SSP is an all volunteer-based organization with volunteers located throughout the country. We rely solely on donations to continue our rescue and spay/neuter efforts.







Our Rescue & Transport Program focuses on saving cats and dogs from high-kill shelters in the Southeast and moving them to safe, no-kill rescues in the Northeast part of the US. All animals receive full medical care and then are quarantined at a boarding facility or in foster care until they are healthy to travel. We then use professional transporters to safely transfer the animals from the Southeast to the Northeast where they have a much better chance at adoption. All veterinary, boarding, and transport costs are paid by SSP thanks to the generous donations of people like you! :)

SSP also operates an innovative program called Puppy Promises that not only rescues puppies, but also spays their mother with the goal of cutting down on pet overpopulation. Our Bernies Buddies program helps to treat heartworm positive dogs that are saved through our Rescue & Transport program. Our newest program for 2007 is Spay & Neuter.
